I agree with several recent correspondent's expression of displeasure regarding BOP ratepayers funding the travel of 11 people to Canterbury, to take part in a welcome that was being held there to welcome a CEO that had resigned his role at the BOP Regional Council.
The ex CEO was departing the Bay of Plenty to take up a new role with another employer in the South Island.
The trip, by 11 local ' representatives” (one could ask representatives of whom), and funded from the ratepayer gravy train, was from a ratepayer perspective totally unnecessary, and I believe was equally unnecessary culturally.

Well Graeme never thought I would agree with you but you have got this rort pretty well sorted.Best explanation I heard was that the culture vultures were being escorted to CHCH by the pointy heads.
